Superhuman

Life at the Extremes of Mental and Physical Ability

Book • 2018

In Superhuman, Rowan Hooper delves into the lives of individuals who have achieved extraordinary levels of mental and physical ability.

The book is structured into three parts – Thinking, Doing, and Being – and explores various characteristics such as intelligence, memory, language, and endurance.

Hooper interviews 'superhumans' like Dean Karnazes, a prolific ultra-marathon runner, and Alexander Arguelles, a polyglot who speaks over fifty languages.

He also discusses the latest scientific thinking and genetic studies to understand what enables these individuals to achieve such advanced levels of aptitude.

The book challenges common beliefs, such as the 10,000-hour rule, and offers an inspiring and scientifically grounded look at human potential.
